  • Money, Privilege, and Parenting: How to Raise Grounded, Loving Children with Expert Jessica McGawley

    Money, Privilege, and Parenting: How to Raise Grounded, Loving Children with Expert Jessica McGawley
    Apr 18 2025
    Money. Hard work. Privilege. Inheritance. Entitlement. Motivation. Success. All of these words can bring up a host of thoughts and feelings. Some of them tend to have positive connotations, yet many of them are super-charged with negativity. Shows such as "Succession" have brought fresh attention to the realm of the uber wealthy and the dramatic flavor of issues such as family feuds, excess, sibling rivalry, manipulation, and mental health issues including addiction. But, as many of Shakespeare's works describe, family dynamics can get particularly mucky when wealth and privilege are part of the picture. Join Dr. Carla and expert Jessica McGawley as we unravel some of the threads of the important and challenging issues that often affect us regardless of our socioeconomic status. Topics discussed include family relationships, inheritance, money, wealth, empowerment, Gen Z, Millennials, entitlement, privilege, conflict, suicide, savings, spending, giving, donating, gratitude, appreciation, kindness, boundaries, strength, extinction burst, neurolinguistics, shame, children, intergenerational patterns, family dynamics, and love. Please note that this episode contains sensitive material including suicide; listener discretion is advised. Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services. In the US, 24/7 help is available by calling "911," "988" (Suicide and Crisis Hotline), or SAMSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

  • The Secret to a VIBRANT Body, Mind, and Spirit at Every Age with Expert Bill Webb

    The Secret to a VIBRANT Body, Mind, and Spirit at Every Age with Expert Bill Webb
    Apr 4 2025
    Do you feel like you're the victim of ageism? Or--whether you're 30, 40, 50, or beyond–that you are too old to make your dreams come true? In Dr. Carla's work with thousands of people (as well as her own life journey), she has found that fears about aging can creep into our minds and cause anxiety and immobilizing self-doubt. And, as the benefits of youth are overemphasized in societies around the world, it's easy to go down the rabbit hole of feeling unworthy, no longer relevant, or stuck. But you have the power to age well–body, mind, and spirit–by making a few positive, simple shifts in your life. Getting older doesn't mean that you're no longer attractive or valuable. You don't need to be a victim of ageism or self-ageism! In fact, many find that their more mature years are the most vibrant and liberating. In today's episode, we'll dive into how YOU can live your best, most joyful life at every age! Join Dr. Carla and expert Bill Webb, author of "So Much Left: Adventuring, Living, Working, Loving, and Creating Beyond 50" for an uplifting journey into the wild and wonderful journey of healthy aging. From exploring the secret to being sexy (at every age) to how movement fosters positive energy, this episode offers the "secret sauce" for loving yourself at every age. Topics discussed include aging, maturity, confidence, sexiness, movement, positivity, body-mind-spirit, yoga, stretching, photography, work, life roles, models, career, film, volunteering, exercise, walking, running, hiking, group support, support groups, friendships, support, positive change, and connection. Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.

  • Should I Stay or Should I Go? How to Let Go of--or Embrace--a Romantic Relationship with Expert Ken Blackman

    Should I Stay or Should I Go? How to Let Go of--or Embrace--a Romantic Relationship with Expert Ken Blackman
    Mar 28 2025
    How to Craft the Love Relationship of Your DreamsAre you feeling stuck in a dead-end relationship? Do you want more in your romantic life but are afraid to let go of what you have? From a lack of sex or emotional intimacy to ongoing conflict, issues often arise in relationships that leave one or both partners feeling distressed. And in my work with individuals and couples, I've found that many people can't decide if it's best to leave a romantic relationship or stay in it for the long haul. It's no easy matter. And, the truth is, no one can tell you what path you should take; the decision--as hard as it might be--is ultimately up to you. In this episode, I'm joined by an international relationship and intimacy coach Ken Blackman who will help us dive deep into knowing when you might want to commit fully--or when you might want to let go. Topics discussed include sexual intimacy, infidelity, sex, connection, emotional connection, love, marriage, dating, love life, agreements, conflict, red flags, dealbreakers, divorce, commitment, betrayal, office romance, emotional infidelity, infidelity, narcissism, NPD, narcissistic personality disorder, abusive relationships, gaslighting, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, spiritual abuse, communication, meditation, and mindfulness.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

    Manifest Abundance Using the Power of a Positive Mindset! Featuring Manifestation Expert Scott Haug
    Mar 14 2025
    Do you believe in miracles? Does the idea of manifestation seem real and within your reach, or does it sound more like an impossibility? Can a positive mindset make a powerful difference in helping your dreams come true? From my experience, I believe you can learn to manifest–to foster your potential and abundance–by tuning into your personal idea of prosperity.

But the concept of manifestation can help you lean into–and draw toward you–your best possible life.Join Dr. Carla and Manifestation and Results Coach Scott Haug for an empowering discussion about the little mindset changes you can make to help your dreams come true. Topics discussed include self-growth, miracles, meditation, achievement, the law of attraction, manifestation, mindset, dreams, empowerment, authenticity, self-help, prosperity, prosperity magnet, relationships, research, abundance, and gratitude.

    Glimmers, Triggers, and Falling in Love with Life! Featuring Renowned Expert Deb Dana
    Mar 7 2025
    Do you feel as if life is passing you by as you rush through one day after another, missing the glimmers that make it worthwhile? I've found that many people feel as if they are barely living – they wake up, work, eat, and sleep – a hum-drum cycle that is repeated joylessly day after day. And, if you add pressure, stress, anxiety–and more stress – into the mix, life can feel purposeless and overwhelming. But hope is on the way! Research shows that you CAN create new, uplifting cycles that foster well-being simply by noticing life's little joys. Join me and renowned mental health expert Deb Dana for a deep dive into the gentle, life-changing power of glimmers. Topics discussed include neurobiology, co-regulation, trauma, complex trauma, dysregulation, regulation, sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, relationships, triggers, glimmers, overwhelm, anxiety, stress, hope, Polyvagal Theory, Stephen Porges, autonomic nervous system, patterns of protection, fight-flight response, safety, connection, neuroception, and healing.
